DISAPPOINTED IN RESULTS AND WAY CASE WAS HANDLED

Prior to hiring Sue, I had filed most of my divorce paperwork. However, my ex-husband got greedy and I thought it best to further protect myself. I hired Sue in. Not only was her team disorganized and always referenced other cases when talking to me. My results were daunting . I never received child... support during the case and even still the support is minimum. The divorce took mr almost 2 years!! In short. The problem was not the charges the problem was the inconsistency, unavailability, LACK OF: PROFESSIONALISM, AWARENESS, COMMUNICATION, and plenty more. I would NEVER RECOMMEND this firm to anyone. Susan is ok but her team needs SUBSTANTIAL work.

She is the best she is someone I would trust with my life. She is such an outstanding attorney she really views you as a person and fights hard no one else I would ever recommend. She gave me my life back I could never repay her for what she has done for me and my family. I have referred her and she ...has done the same for them as well

Child Custody

The worst lawyer I've ever had an experience with. Never answer the phone. Charges you fees to talk to her after you already retained her. Don't communicate anything with what's going on with your case until the day of. You basically go in blindsided. She has made my situation worse than what it was ...even when i gave her all the information she needed without even have to lift a finger. Im ashmed to even say i hired her!!!!!

The Best Attorney Ever!!

I was referred to Susan Pniewski in 2014. I was seeking a divorce from my husband of 23 years. Susan is so caring, knowledgeable and wonderful! The best attorney ever! Susan is so good that my now ex- husband refers people to Susan along with the people I refer. Susan is so good that I now want to go... to law school. Susan loves animals and I do too! I love her dogs. Thanks Susan Pniewski for all you do!
